Seats in Switzerland.
A director building an international portfolio typically holds a statutory seat in one market, takes an interim seat in another, and advises in a third. Splitting those across three products would hide two-thirds of the options, so they sit here together.
Statutory board seat
346A seat on a statutory board — independent, non-executive or supervisory — with the appointment formalities and the personal duties that go with it.
Interim leadership
456An executive engagement for a defined window: a CFO through a refinancing, a COO through an integration, a CEO alongside a founder. The fastest route onto a foreign board, because it puts you inside the market on the record.
Advisory & consulting
179A scoped advisory engagement — board effectiveness, governance design, shareholder engagement, controls readiness. No office of director, no appointment formalities, no statutory liability.
16 seats
Advisor on Trading Through Hotel Renovation
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help leadership decide how a hotel should trade while renovation or substantial maintenance is undertaken. The remit concerns commercial and operating choices: which services remain available, what can be promised and how disruption should shape demand and pricing decisions. Technical construction and safety responsibilities remain with the appropriately qualified parties.
Adviser — Turnaround Capital Allocation
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will evaluate competing turnaround interventions for investment decision-makers. The work requires a prospective assessment of value, funding and execution, avoiding the assumption that every stressed business deserves more time or capital.
Advisory Director — Technology Value (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Private-equity-backed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Delivery has to stay reliable while the product and platform model changes. A logistics and infrastructure services business backed by private equity wants an Advisory Director to give that counsel to its Technology Committee Chair, to whom the role reports, across 24 months.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Scale
Switzerland·Industrial Manufacturing
Mid-cap listed industrial manufacturing organisation
Counsel on how to lead its next phase is what a mid-cap listed manufacturer wants from an Advisory Chair over 12 months; the role reports to the Investment Committee.
Advisor on Guest Recovery and Service Decision Authority
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will help a hospitality leadership team improve how service failures are recognised, resolved and learned from. The engagement concerns the operating design of guest recovery, including frontline authority, information flow and the consistency of responses. It must protect guest trust without creating uncontrolled commitments or a culture in which compensation substitutes for fixing recurring defects.
Advisory Chair — Operating Model and Delivery (Logistics and Infrastructure)
Switzerland·Logistics & Infrastructure
Mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services organisation
Counsel on the operating model and on delivery discipline is what the board of a mid-cap listed logistics and infrastructure services company wants, for 18 months. The Advisory Chair reports to that Board of Directors and advises; the board decides.
Adviser — Traceability and Agricultural Sourcing Assurance
Switzerland·Agribusiness & Food
Agricultural commodities organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will assess the integrity of traceability and sourcing assurance across agricultural supply chains. The assignment is to determine what the organisation can support with evidence, where information is incomplete and what changes would make future claims more reliable. It is not a certification exercise and should not be presented as an independent guarantee of every supplier's conduct.
Advisor on Hotel Repositioning and Service Economics
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The final advice should state what the property can plausibly become, what it would take and what remains uncertain. Success means leadership can authorise a coherent programme with explicit trade-offs, rather than a collection of enhancements lacking a shared commercial logic. The operating plan must remain viable after the initial launch attention fades and ordinary demand patterns reassert themselves.
Governance Adviser — Search Mandate Design and Assessment Integrity
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
This adviser will help a board or authorised appointment body define a director search that reflects the contribution actually needed. The work is intended to prevent a familiar failure: a broad wish list produces a large candidate pool but no clear basis for choosing among credible people.
Advisor on AI Operating Accountability and Workforce Design
Switzerland·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will assess how an AI-enabled workflow changes work, responsibility and managerial oversight. The engagement is designed for leadership teams considering wider adoption, where the technology case may be more developed than the operating model. The advisor must determine what people need to know, decide and challenge for the process to remain dependable.
Advisor on Hospitality Acquisition Operating Diligence
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will provide operating and commercial diligence for a hospitality investment under consideration. The engagement will assess the quality of current performance, the credibility of improvement assumptions and the management capability required after completion. It is independent advice to decision-makers and does not include valuation certification, transaction negotiation or an operating appointment.
Advisor on Hospitality Owner–Operator Alignment
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will examine alignment between asset ownership priorities and hotel operating requirements. The engagement focuses on how budgets, service standards, capital needs and commercial decisions are discussed and resolved. It should improve the quality of the relationship without replacing either party's contractual responsibilities or acting as an informal adjudicator.
Adviser — Portfolio Company Turnaround
Switzerland·Funds & Asset Management
Consumer and industrial investments organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will help investment decision-makers evaluate turnaround needs across operating businesses without forcing dissimilar problems into one recovery playbook. The central question is which interventions are economically justified, executable and appropriately supported by ownership.
Advisor on Luxury Service Standards Across Properties
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
The advisor will evaluate how a hospitality group should define and maintain service standards across properties. The engagement must distinguish the elements essential to the guest promise from those that should reflect local context. It concerns practical operating standards, management capability and assurance rather than creating a large manual that employees cannot use.
Advisor on Hotel Pre-Opening Commercial Readiness
Switzerland·Tourism, Hospitality & Entertainment
Luxury hospitality organisation in Switzerland
This engagement will advise a hospitality leadership team on whether its commercial and service arrangements are ready for opening. The focus is the guest-facing operating promise: what has been sold, what can be delivered and how early demand will be managed. The advisor will provide independent readiness judgement without assuming executive control of the opening team.
Board Succession Adviser — Chair Transition Readiness
Switzerland·Business Services & Diversified
Board succession and governance organisation in Switzerland
The adviser will support a deliberate chair succession process by helping the board define the leadership it needs, the evidence it should seek and the transition conditions that will allow a successor to work effectively. The mandate does not confer a director appointment or authority to select the next chair.
